Chapter 103

A thin membrane would come from the side of its eyes and envelop it as if it had its own method of blinking that was unique to only itself.

It was only then that I looked up to the eyes and stared directly into its pupil.

Its eyes were a bright yellow that got deeper as it got to the edges of the iris. Its pupil on the other hand was just as black as any other pupil, the only difference being that they were slits rather than rounded ones.

"The flames are coming..."

"You think I can't run away from them? I can even take them on." The lizard opened its maw for the second time since I had met it to release a loud and raspy roar-like laugh. Yet even then, the eye did not leave its place and only looked more fierce as it looked into my very soul.

To its surprise, I also began to laugh.

"Hahahahahaha" It was a low and even croaky laugh. To anyone else, it might have seemed fake, but the creature knew otherwise.

I could feel the burning hatred within my eyes when I had looked at... It could sense the mockery and craze in my laugh.

"You are interesting. How about you come with me? We can have a little fun?" It chuckled

"I'd rather not be experimented on." My laugh halted and a huge, almost desperate grin stretched across my face.

'I'm sorry crystal...'

I grabbed the hilt of my ax with my remaining arm and swing it at a blurring speed that even the large lizard in front of me struggled to react to.

'But I'm not going to die without a fight'

It was that day that the fire finally ignited in me.

It was a fire that had been trying to emerge for days now, yet it was only now that it had been released from its chains.

The fire of an unbreakable determination.

A fire that symbolized my will to fight! My will to live!
